About this fabric

The fabric reads as a balanced mix of warm grey and muted taupe, with tiny tonal variations visible throughout the weave. Its fine, dense texture gives the plain surface subtle depth without introducing a separate motif or repeat. The restrained colour and low-sheen finish make it particularly well suited to upholstered pieces where a softly textured neutral is preferred. No composition, width, rub-test or additional performance data is supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this muted taupe-grey on a sofa, armchair or dining seat alongside chalky whites, warm timber and deeper brown accents. Its understated texture also works well as a calm grounding neutral in layered, tonal rooms.

A quiet taupe-grey woven texture for understated upholstery schemes.

7974/X1096 is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
